As of this posting only Moon has submitted his character bio. The first post has been placed. This would be a good time for me other vict, er...players to do intros and such. I think that moon will be leading off.

Okay.. since the initial post is based around my history... I will post to this thread in an hour or so...

I will be a good poster - flat and everything - suitable for a dorm room wall. I will be a good poster - flat and everything - suitable for a dorm room wall.

Okay, Moon submitted me a second quite nicely wrapped up character bio with some more detail on his secret identity and on his powers and weaknesses. He also elaborated on the spiffness of his characters disguise. It isnt necessary, as I have retained all info everyone else has sent.

As for Intros, what do you do in the VBC, how would your character found out about sinister villian of the month?

Would it be allright with you if mine was working for a tabloid that wants an exclusive on the super villain?

Has everyone introduced their character in the game. I would hate to post the "we search for bad guy" scene and somebody has not had a chance to introduce themselves into the setting.

Am I the only well adjusted Xeo (well as well adjusted as an Xeo gets) in our bunch?

Ace (Trevor) has been seen in action for a while now (been active for a few months). He appears to have low scale superman-esk powers- toughness, flight, strength, and maybe some kind of energy discharge, superspeed, and super senses. Just thought you might want to know.

Since right now I am the only person who knows everyones powers, this puts you guys at a disadvantage with one another. I would like to request the next set of posts to be done responding to identical sets of challenges in the obstacle room. I will list the challenges, and it is up to your characters to overcome them whoever you see fit. All parts of the course are easily replaceable and doing so doesnt take long. This is where Ultraman excercised, and the other Xeos who 'work' for him practice themselves. Time to show off!

4. The Guardian (1) - another droid, this one the size of an automobile. Equivalent to a low level video game boss. Shouldnt be defeated to easily, but still breaks apart like the Automated droids. Punches with steel fist, and has a chain flail attack.

You are up. If CP is done, then post yourself. I should be the last PC to go. I will probably go after Perceptor, if he is running the course.

I await your every post.

Ace's answer was my "no think" response to the problem. The answer has been seen in the comics from Psylocke and a few other mentalist types. It also the anime answer to the problem of crunchy mentalists. The reason it took him so long to respond was the "working up of his nerve". Back on topic, anime inspired a character in my Supers game.

One of the most powerful, most useful, and longest lasting character in my Champion campaign was Malstrom (I think she made 400 eps, at a rate of 2-4 a week, before being retired). She was a mentalist in a light battlesuit. A little laser, some targeting senses, slow flight, some enhanced strength, and some good resistant defenses were tacked on to an average mentalist (telepathy, empathy, Tk, mind control, mental illusions, mind scan, and some enhanced mental senses). There was a lot more to her, but from a mechanics point of view she was really effective - a mentalist that could survive in a tactical situation. She was a low average combatant, and started as a low average mentalist. She was two characters in one... making the one quite above average in effectiveness.

Not that I am suggesting you do that here. The term very experimental is not something I would want to avoid. You could very happily be in a padded kevlar laiden suit with some tools (flashlight, night goggles, etc). But hey, if the GM likes the idea, I think a mentalist in light powered armor is a good thing.

Having an ultra car or ultra van for all of you non flying people is not a bad idea.

Next we teach all of us some martial arts and a little in the way of citymoving (the running, jumping, hurdling, along walls, walkways, and such in an urban environment).

About the game, we can assume that all this decision making and manufacturing is occuring off camera. We can move on to the action.(Or if you want to try the battle armor option, we can throw you out in the suit into the course....)

Is there anything else to post, or do you (scras) want to set up a new scene for us to run with?

Do any of you have thoughts on any of this? Off camera and metagamingly?

Nearly eighty years ago, VBC was one of the nations leading exporters of coal, as well as moving a signifigant portion of the coal produced and shipping within the US. The Coal Harbor region still ships coal to the various coal fired power plants along the US Eastern seaboard, and remains a vital if very very dirty part of the city. Pollution is a constant problem, smog acid rain and corrosive gases are all common among the coal refinery stacks, and holding bins.

Crime is heavy in the area, with VBC gangs holding their own against the local police, providing plenty of fist-fodder for up and coming supers. Ships here are loaded with coal take from freight rail lines, provinding lots of heavy iron to swing and smash.

If I have gone too far forward, please feel free to either back post or to delete my post and I can repost it afterwards.

And,er,what should I do? I can't fly or create fire with my fists. All I can do is wait till either the Captain or Moon somehow bring BucketHead close enough for me to infiltrate his emotions.

Let see. Ace was waiting for the Ultra-craft to move into range before he made his move, so Azai and Zero could unleash their abilities (or are both of your powers touch only?). It was not like they were hundreds of feet up... just something in the tens. There is also the weapons on the hover craft, or did you miss that part of the description?

I didn't know that Empath's ability had a range shorter than line of sight (and that was asked earlier... You need line of sight right?)

So open a window or pop the roof hatch or something.

So even if you didn't take an empowered action, there is always a quick... "Hero sits in the bumpy jump seat, wanting to act.... but can't because of XXXX... and maybe a bit of internal dialog (references to Starship Trooper... flashbacks to other times waiting for crap to happen... thinking about how scared he is...) That way we know you are still involved in playing, even if your character isn't doing something.

Besides Zero might sit on his hands just to piss off the bossy kid who is upstaging him, but a scene to that effect rather than just nothing would be appreciated.

If you were lost, then why not post in here saying you were... and what the fck was happening?
